Debate. Factual arguments that are more conducive to children’s growth in good times

The following is the debate material about "good times are more conducive to success". I hope it will be useful to you.

The first argument of the affirmative: Thank you, Chairman. Hello fellow debaters, teachers, judges, and classmates! Our view is that good times are conducive to the development of talents. Of course, we do not deny that adversity can also produce talents, but we believe that good times are more conducive to the development of talents than adversity. Talent refers to people who are outstanding and possess both ability and political integrity. What we call good times is to provide good conditions for the development of such talents. Our chief architect, Comrade Deng Xiaoping, proposed the policy of reform and opening up, which provided smoother and superior conditions for the development of talents. In this favorable situation, our country has seen the emergence of talents in large numbers. This shows that good times give talents more opportunities for performance and development, and good times are more conducive to the development of talents.

My fellow debater, can you deny that we are in an unprecedentedly favorable situation now compared with before liberation? Can you deny that there are much more talents now than before liberation? If this cannot be denied, then how can one deny our point of view?

Anti-party debate: First of all, thank you to the opponent’s fellow debaters for recognizing our point of view: Talents can emerge from adversity. What is it? We believe that adversity is the external resistance that people encounter in the process of becoming successful, and it also includes difficult and miserable situations. What you talk about before liberation mainly refers to the miserable situation, but you have not yet touched upon the difficult situation. If a person wants to become a talent, he must constantly overcome difficulties, which inevitably puts himself in a difficult situation. Therefore, it is impossible to produce talents in good times, only in adversity. Specifically, first, human history begins with apes overcoming adversity and walking out of the forest. They are the earliest talents; second, adversity exists everywhere, and there will inevitably be resistance to progress. It is precisely in overcoming adversity that talents It arises from various resistances; thirdly, human nature is to take refuge in the easy way. In good times, people are easy to be proud and complacent. Mencius said, "Be born in sorrow and die in happiness." Only in adversity can people turn pressure into motivation and promote career success.

Second debate for the affirmative: First of all, let me ask my opponent’s debate partner, is difficulty equal to adversity? You say that difficulties are also adversities, but you must know that not having enough food to eat and not having enough clothes to cover your body are the most typical adversities! Listening to the other party’s debate friends’ grand arguments, it seems that you really prefer adversity, but you also say that human nature is to seek refuge in the easy way. How can this be justified? Our first defense has repeatedly stated that adversity can produce talents, but good times are more conducive to producing talents. Therefore, the relationship between good times and adversity is the relationship between the mainstream and the tributary. Statistics from various aspects show that the probability of talent being produced in adversity is much lower than that in good times. Today, Comrade Deng Xiaoping has created such a good situation for us, which has resulted in the emergence of talents in large numbers. Doesn’t it mean that it is easier to produce talents in good times?

The second argument of the opposing side: First of all, we must point out a blind spot of the other side. You have always ignored the subjective factors of people. Our understanding of adversity includes both subjective and objective aspects. We believe that adversity is the collision of internal and external factors. Collision creates resistance. For those who want to become successful, the higher they climb, the greater the difficulty. Since difficulties are inevitable in the process of becoming useful, adversity must exist. The process of a person's maturity is the process of experiencing adversity, and the process of a person's success is also the process of overcoming adversity. As it is said in "Cai Gen Tan": "In adversity, you are surrounded by needles and herbs. If you work hard, you will never succeed." When you feel that you are in a favorable territory, you can see all the swords and halberds in front of you, and you don’t know how to use them to grind bones.”

The third argument of Zhengfang: I would like to remind the other party that you still haven’t solved the problem of “difficulties equal adversity”. question.

Our second defense side just pointed out that only survival problems, such as being hungry, are typical adversities. How do you answer that? You say that success is a collision between subjectivity and objectivity, but Marxist philosophy tells us that only matter determines consciousness, and there is no so-called collision between subjective consciousness and matter. How does the other debater explain it? We still insist that more talents come out of good times than bad times. According to statistics from relevant newspapers, 60% of the world’s talents come out of good times, while only 40% come out of bad times. How can the other side explain this? Also, I want to ask my fellow debater: Are ancient apes also considered talents? (Laughter, applause)

Three arguments from the opposing side: I really admire what the opponent’s fellow debater said about the percentage of talent, but what is the “relevant” method for “relevant newspapers”? Are you sure about the reliability of the data? Secondly, without ancient apes, where would humans be? It’s not that we prefer adversity, but that adversity exists objectively. We should understand that there is no “utopia” without contradictions and difficulties in the world. The so-called utopia and “peach blossom garden” only exist in the books of thinkers and writers. Therefore, a true talent will never be afraid of adversity. American writer Emerson said: "A good wise man will not give up this opportunity to learn"; British pathology professor Beveridge said: "People's best work is often done under adverse circumstances. "Ideological pressure and even physical pain may become mental stimulants."

Chairman: Let’s start the free debate.

Zhengfang: Still the same question: Does difficulty equal adversity? It has always been unclear whether the adversity mentioned by the opponent's fellow debater is a difficulty or something else.

Opponent: We have already explained this issue, why did the opponent’s fellow debaters ignore it? We say that adversity produces talents but good times do not. Talents 100% come from adversity. This is because the growth history of all talents is indeed the process of getting out of adversity and overcoming adversity. Ostrovsky was blind and paralyzed, but he wrote "How is Steel Made?" ", Edison finally invented the electric light after thousands of failures, Cervantes was poor and wrote "Don Quixote", Cao Xueqin experienced the adversity of his family being copied and wrote "Dream of Red Mansions"... These examples all illustrate Talent emerges from adversity.

Zhengfang: We have just listed the data, 60% and 40%. Good times are more conducive to the development of talents. This is an indisputable fact.

Opponent: The opponent’s debate partner only uses data to make an article. Why not give a few examples to illustrate the problem?

Professor: Since the opponent’s fellow debater is so particular about examples, let me give you an example. For example, someone gives up on themselves when they encounter setbacks. According to the other party, setbacks are adversity. Then what kind of talent can there be? ?

Opponent: Many countries are now promoting setback education, isn’t it just to better cultivate talents?

…………

Chairman: Now we invite both parties to make concluding remarks.

Opposer: I first want to point out the other party’s mistakes. First, the other party made a logical error by using results to deduce conditions; second, the other party only has abstract conclusions, but cannot even cite a specific example. ; Third, the other party misunderstood our meaning and misunderstood that talents 100% come from adversity as adversity 100% produces talents. Let’s summarize our views below. First, saying that adversity produces talents is not just a cognitive issue, but an objective reality. In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, which outstanding talent has not overcome all obstacles and stood out from all kinds of resistance and finally achieved success? When heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first harden his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, mess up his actions, and improve what he cannot do. Mencius pointed out two thousand years ago that success is a talent. The only way to go. Second, if you realize that adversity produces talents, you will be able to remain calm in the face of any difficulties and resistance and overcome them. Third, only by understanding that adversity produces talents can we focus on tempering our will and quality, and avoid the situation that occurred at the China-Japan Summer Camp in 1997.

Let us remember the advice of the Persian foreigner Sa'di in the 13th century: "If you are in trouble, don't panic, because the fountain of life often flows from the dark!"

Fang Fang: I first want to Point out the other party's omissions: the other party has never answered our question, that is, whether difficulties are adversity, and that ancient apes are not human beings, so we use this as evidence that they have insufficient talents. We have long made our point of view: good times are more conducive to the development of talents. For example, the current investment environment in our country is much better than before, so investors are flocking here. This is a good situation created by the chief designer for us! Just imagine if it's adversity, how can investors favor it? The frustration with education mentioned by the other party is indeed true, but countries are still striving to run better schools and provide students with a favorable environment for development. Otherwise, why would they run so many universities? This shows that setbacks are only secondary, and good times are fundamental
